Third Coast Spring 2005

Description

Third Coast, a leading national literary journal published by creative writing graduate students at Western Michigan University, marks its 10th anniversary with the recently released spring 2005 issue. The magazine has accomplished much in its 10-year history. It debuted in spring 1995 and twice-annual publication began a year later. The journal has enjoyed a large upswing in circulation recently. "This anniversary is a good time to remind ourselves that Third Coast ultimately helps support the nation's literature, since much of the best new American writing arises in magazines like ours," says Glenn Deutsch, the publication's editor since 2002. "It's also a reminder that many people have helped Third Coast grow and thrive over the course of a decade, including scores of editors, advisors and supporters. "What everyone has accomplished comes down to helping great writers--emerging ones, mainly--gain traction in their careers while providing terrific entertainment and insights for readers." One innovation in the new issue is the intermixing of poems, fiction and nonfiction. Third Coast had previously maintained separate sections for the three genres. ISBN:THIRDCOAST
